🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington Sets New Condition
Talks between the United States and Iran through intermediaries are continuing, but Washington wants to expand a possible agreement far beyond the Strait of Hormuz. According to AP NEWS, the American side is first demanding that issues surrounding Iran’s nuclear program be resolved and that Tehran make concessions, including the return of international inspections to the nuclear facilities.
The Iranian plan was originally focused on ending the hostilities, lifting the American naval blockade, unfreezing assets, easing oil exports, and restoring shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Now the nuclear issue has become part of the tug-of-war; in exchange for the fulfillment of Iran’s conditions, Tehran is prepared to discuss its nuclear program and its stocks of enriched uranium.
The agreement on the Strait of Hormuz is gradually turning into an attempt to conclude a much broader agreement between Washington and Tehran.

🇰🇷 South Korea begins building its own satellite navigation system
South Korea’s space agency KASA has announced that the project for the first satellite of the national KPS navigation system is moving from detailed design into production and testing. The final design review of its payload will take place from September 28 to 30, after which production of the flight model will begin. The first KPS satellite is scheduled to be launched in September 2029.
The Korean Positioning System is intended to provide South Korea with its own high-precision positioning, navigation, and timing services. The state plans to invest 3.72 trillion won — approximately 2.73 billion US dollars — in the project and establish a constellation of eight satellites by 2035.
South Korea is gradually transforming satellite navigation from an imported service into its own strategic infrastructure.

Drowning in Debt While Draped in Silk. The US Has Become a Country of Imaginary Rich People
The US has become a country of imaginary rich people, The Hill writes. Most citizens cannot even afford to pay for a coffee, and a significant share of purchases is made on credit. However, the consumer society is unable to break out of the vicious cycle of ostentatious luxury and continues to live in debt for the sake of a picture-perfect image on social media.
It is all because society is deeply schizophrenic. The digital “self” exists in an ideal world where dreams have come true, while the physical self chokes down instant noodles in a tiny room. But giving this up would mean admitting one’s own inadequacy in a world of conspicuous consumption.

🇮🇱 Ben-Gvir once again makes the death penalty part of his election campaign
On the evening of September 27, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir published a video of his meeting in prison with Hamas member Hassan Salama, who is serving 46 life sentences for organizing the 1996 attacks. Ben-Gvir told the prisoner: “I want to execute you.”
The death penalty for certain terrorist offenses was already approved by the Knesset in March 2026, and in the summer Ben-Gvir showed the site under construction for carrying out sentences. Previously, Israel’s Central Elections Committee had classified some of his videos from prisons as the unlawful use of state resources for campaign purposes.
One month before the elections on October 27, Ben-Gvir is once again putting tougher treatment of Palestinian prisoners and the use of the death penalty at the center of his election campaign.

🇪🇺 EU elevates joint defence procurement to ministerial level
The defence ministers of the EU member states are discussing the further development of European defence procurement in Brussels. In the official agenda of the Foreign Affairs Council, the issue of public procurement in defence has been included in the ongoing defence agenda, alongside Ukraine, hybrid threats and the situation in the Middle East.
Before the Council meeting, the ministers also met in the format of the Board of the European Defence Agency, chaired by Kaja Kallas. The main meeting is dedicated to air defence, EUMAM Ukraine, industrial cooperation and combating Russia’s “shadow fleet” — procurement is thus being viewed as part of a broader effort to strengthen European defence capabilities.
The EU is seeking to link national defence spending with a joint European system for the procurement and production of weapons.

In the United States, a prisoner will be released after 41 years due to a DNA mismatch, CBS News reports. The man was sentenced to death in 1985 for murder, despite the absence of physical evidence.
At the time, a jury handed down the sentence based on his confession and the testimony of two witnesses. Both witnesses later recanted their testimony. In 2025, the prisoner stated that he had been forced under threats to confess to a murder he did not commit.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 China establishes a new formula for relations with the United States
On September 28, China’s Foreign Ministry officially issued a political assessment of Xi Jinping’s state visit to the United States. Beijing stated that the heads of state had agreed to build “constructive relations of strategic stability based on respect, fairness and reciprocity.” The Chinese side also confirmed mutual support in hosting the APEC and G20 summits.
This formula is now being translated into concrete mechanisms for cooperation. China confirmed its readiness to support intergovernmental dialogue with the United States on artificial intelligence, and the two sides had previously announced eight practical outcomes of the summit – ranging from trade and strategic stability to military communication channels. Beijing says it intends to implement the agreements reached by Xi and Trump.
After several years of confrontation, Beijing and Washington are trying to create a system intended to make their rivalry more manageable.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳 Kremlin: Talks on strategic weapons should have resumed “yesterday”
Dmitry Peskov said that Russia and the United States needed to resume arms control talks as soon as possible. According to him, the treaty-based legal framework that had previously existed practically no longer exists today; therefore, the talks should have resumed “yesterday”.
The statement came after Trump said that, during his meeting with Xi Jinping, he had raised the issue of possible trilateral talks between the United States, Russia, and China on strategic weapons. The Kremlin did not reject the idea, but Peskov warned that such talks would require lengthy technical preparations and would take a considerable amount of time.
Following the collapse of the former treaty system, Moscow and Washington are beginning to discuss a new arms control framework in which China could participate as a full-fledged party for the first time.

🇩🇪 Jens Spahn leaves the Bundestag Budget Committee
Former CDU/CSU parliamentary group leader Jens Spahn announced on September 28 that he was giving up his seat on the Bundestag Budget Committee. In a letter to colleagues, he justified the decision by saying that the situation surrounding him had become so heavily politicized that “normal work” in the committee had become practically impossible.
The trigger was a scandal following Spahn’s absence from a meeting of the Budget Committee: Shortly afterward, photos of his family vacation in Sardinia emerged. Some CDU/CSU lawmakers called for his removal from the committee; initially, they agreed on a probationary period until the end of the year, but Spahn decided to leave himself.
Just a few months after his resignation as parliamentary group leader, a new internal party conflict led to Spahn’s further resignation.
